Umayyad Mosque’s Minbar Stolen by Takfiri Terrorists
Takfiri groups affiliated to Al-Nusra terrorist front in Syria have attacked the Umayyad Mosque in the city of Aleppo.
According to Noon news agency, they stole the historical Minbar (pulpit) of the mosque, which is the second oldest available Minbar in the Muslim world.
The terrorist militants further set fire to the Minarets and the library of the historical mosque.
Armed groups had made several attempts previously to attack the Umayyad Mosque and once managed to enter the mosque.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has warned against the destruction of heritage sites in Syria as a result of the country’s civil war.
Some news sources have reported that selling historical data-x-items stolen from Syrian heritage sites has become a source of earning money for the militants fighting the government of Syria.
This is not the first time groups affiliated to Al-Nusra front make headlines as their desecration of the shrine of Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) companion Hujr Ibn Uday a few weeks ago drew strong condemnation from Muslim worldwide.
